LATE VARIETIES 
Ferguson's Danish Roundhead. -W^ ^safe > in 
pared with the justly popular Cannon Ball, the New Round Head 
will average larger in size of heads and even hardier. Regular 
cannon balls in shape and hardness, while they are borne on shorter 
stems, being about a week earlier in maturity. It is without any 
doubt the best shipper and keeper of any. A head of it will 
weigh Vi more than other varieties of equal size. Genuine seed 
grown in Denmark. Per pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 30 cts.; i lb. $1.00; 
lb., $3.50.

grained and long keepers. It will stand well through a dry 
season. Matures late. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; 1 lb., 85. 
New Flat Swedish Cabbage.-This », ^Jate 
from Swec'en. The plant is of extra-strong growth, with large 
bluish green 'eaves, and in good soil produces heads of enormous 
size. It has quite short stems, and its great solidity makes it a 
good winter keeper. Similar form but larger than Brunswick.

CAULIFLOWER 
1 ounce will produce about 3,000 plants 
For early crops sow in March in hot beds and transplant to the 
open ground as soon as danger of hard freezing is over. The plants 
will endure a light frost. The soil for cauliflower should be like 
that for cabbage; but it is better to be made richer than is ordin- 
arily used for that crop. Give the plants thorough culture, and 
keep free from green worm by using Hammond's Slug Shot. 
For late crop sow at same time as for late cabbage, and treat in 
the same manner. It should be borne in mind that cauliflower 
will not head up well in hot, dry weather, and hence the sowing 
should be so regulated as to bring it in either in early summer or late 
fall. Although nine-tenths of the cauliflowers grown in this coun- 
try are produced without it, frequent and abundant watering is 
so beneficial that it pays well for the labor it costs. 
Ferguson's Selected Dwarf Erfurt Cauliflower. 
Ferguson's Selected 
Early Dwarf Erfurt Cauliflower. — We know of 
type of this variety, — ■ very early, smooth rounded head, fine 
grained, compact, even in size. While a first early, is better 
adapted generally to Fall use than the large late sorts so often 
grown for the purpose. It will give satisfaction by the dozen 
plants or in a dozen acres. The habit of the plant is close growing 
and compact, and plants can be set closely together from 18 to 
21 inches. "Every plant," says our grower, "which did not 
produce a perfect head was discarded when selecting 
our stock plants for seed." Per pkt., 25 cts.; 14 oz., 
$1.50; oz., $2.50. 
Earliest Snowball (Forcing).— One of the 
i earliest 
heading varieties in cultivation, small leaved, of low 
growth. The finest of all vaiieties for forcing. Per 
pkt., 25 cts.; i oz., $1.00; V 2 oz. $1.75; oz., $3.00.

Cauliflower is a splen- 
did strain for a dry season, as it will grow well and pro- 
duce the finest heads in spite of the lack of moisture, 
which is required by other sorts. The heads grow to 
a large size, are very solid, pure white and of delicious 
flavor. Pkt., 25 cts.; Y 2 oz., $1.50; oz., $2.75.

productive, with lartre white compact heads of good
